Introduction The Florida Department of Transportation’s District Six Intermodal Systems Development (ISD) Office is overseeing the Second Phase of the Transit Corridor Systems Planning Study to evaluate potential ridership estimates for various transit corridors within Miami-Dade County. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this study is to perform a systems planning level analysis to evaluate the purpose and need for implementation of potential transit service within multiple study corridors. The intent of this study is to provide a fresh look at potential transit corridors throughout Miami-Dade County. This report will identify the travel markets for the County as a whole and for individually selected corridors, while also providing an evaluation of the estimated patronage for selected transit corridors. 1.2 Background Previous to this report, an initial Phase I Transit Study was performed for the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC)-Dadeland Transit Corridor, which intended to make use of the existing Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroads’ Oleander Corridor in Miami-Dade County. This corridor was long considered a viable option since the right-of-way was assumed to be available. Through the course of this study it was determined that the MIC-Dadeland Transit Corridor may not have been the most appropriate investment or the highest demand transit corridor in Miami-Dade County, due to the transit ridership results and demand levels. As a result of the Phase I study, FDOT’s ISD staff wanted to take a fresh look at potential transit corridors without being influenced by jurisdictional concerns or political viewpoints, but to let the data speak for itself. Thus, this Phase II study will provide new potentially viable transit options throughout the County and present initial transit ridership estimates. This new study will identify up to ten potential transit corridors. 1.3 Study Data For this study, a variety of data were employed to determine the transit needs of each possible corridor. The following provides a description of these various data types. 1.3.1 SERPM Socio-Economic Data Socio-economic projection data is developed by planning agencies to estimate future year population and employment within specific zones of their municipal area. This data is then used as a basis for identifying trip patterns and estimating highway and transit demands. To accomplish these tasks travel demand models are employed. Model output data is a key component in determining travel markets relevant to highway and transit improvement projects. Socio-economic data was developed by the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the year 2016. This data is used as input to the Southeast Regional Planning Model (SERPM), version 6.7. Population and employment data are provided by transportation analysis zones (TAZs) which can be as small as a city block, as in Downtown Miami, or even as large as several square miles. These two data are critical to determining the location of where work trips start and end. Transit Corridor Systems Planning Study Page 1 1.3.2 2010 Census Data Census data was most recently collected for 2010. From this data set, several key components were used as part of this analysis. Like the socio-economic data, this data is also provided by TAZ. The first component was information on household income, which will identify areas of households living at or below $25,000 annual income. The next piece of data was the percentage of zero-car households within a TAZ. Finally, the last piece of data identified the percentage of residents older than 65 years of age. Each of these components will help identify areas of high transit need. 1.3.3 Miami-Dade County Activity Centers and Transit Hubs As part of this study activity centers, existing park-and-ride locations and future transit hubs were reviewed and included in the analysis. Activity centers include places of interest such as large shopping malls, colleges, government offices and tourist destinations. The activity centers were reviewed by the consultant team using our collective common knowledge to determine the relevance of each location to transit usage and whether the location would have a significant enough number of trips to warrant the inclusion in the maps. An example of this was the elimination of several private, for-profit colleges which are largely unknown to most people. Each of these three location types influenced the initial decision to select particular corridors. Additionally, these locations will be beneficial when determining the locations of transit stops/stations in further analyses. 1.4 MPO Transit Studies As requested by FDOT staff, a review was performed of transit studies conducted on behalf of the Miami-Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) over the last ten years. During this period a total of 18 studies were performed. Appendix A includes a list of these transit projects, the years they were completed, and a summary of the study. Transit Corridor Systems Planning Study Page 2 2. Initial Corridor Identification Initially ten corridors were selected for further analysis. The selection of these ten corridors was based on major roadways connecting areas of high population and employment, while also considering location of existing major activity centers, park-and-ride sites and future transit hubs. Areas of high population or employment were identified where their densities were higher than the county average. Results and findings from

  • Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County : Tequesta
    Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County By ADAM G. ADAMS The great land boom in Florida was centered in 1925. Since that time much has been written about the more colorful participants in developments leading to the climax. John S. Collins, the Lummus brothers and Carl Fisher at Miami Beach and George E. Merrick at Coral Gables, have had much well deserved attention. Many others whose names were household words before and during the boom are now all but forgotten. This is an effort, necessarily limited, to give a brief description of the times and to recall the names of a few of those less prominent, withal important develop- ers of Dade County. It seems strange now that South Florida was so long in being discovered. The great migration westward which went on for most of the 19th Century in the United States had done little to change the Southeast. The cities along the coast, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Mobile and New Orleans were very old communities. They had been settled for a hundred years or more. These old communities were still struggling to overcome the domination of an economy controlled by the North. By the turn of the century Progressives were beginning to be heard, those who were rebelling against the alleged strangle hold the Corporations had on the People. This struggle was vehement in Florida, including Dade County. Florida had almost been forgotten since the Seminole Wars. There were no roads penetrating the 350 miles to Miami. All traffic was through Jacksonville, by rail or water. There resided the big merchants, the promi- nent lawyers and the ruling politicians.

    Station Concessions Metropolitan Transportation Authority New York City, New York This page left intentionally blank. Station Concessions Metropolitan Transportation Authority Background Agency Profile Transit systems have many assets which provide attractive business opportunities to the private sector. One of these assets, real estate in high-traffic stations, can provide retailers with a steady stream of potential customers. Both large and small systems can benefit from the productive use of excess space in transit stations. Large transit systems serve thousands of people 169 daily and many small systems have central transfer points through which large numbers of people pass. In high-traffic stations transit agencies can raise funds and provide their riders with conveniences such as food, newspapers, flowers, or dry cleaning through concessions. Case Background For over a century, the transit system in New York City has recognized the value of the premium real estate it Transportation Authority [MTA]), maintained this holds. One of the founders of the system, August Belmont, program to generate revenue from otherwise unused saw concessions as a way to make additional money. When space. This space is licensed to concessionaires — the transit system was purchased by the public sector, the individuals, partnerships, or corporations — who pay city, and since 1953, the New York City Transit Authority rent to occupy space on MTA property.

Three years of Snapper Creek Canal SW 70 Ave meetings, phone calls and great effort from the Chamber staff accomplished the organization and fund-raising for an extensive week-long design “charrette”. Palmetto Expressway Palmetto SW 72 Ave 72 SW Held in the first week of June 1998, the Downtown SW 88 St Kendall Charrette was the combination of a South Dixie Highway town meeting with an energetic design studio. Two local town planning firms, Dover, Kohl & Partners, and Duany Plater-Zyberk and Co., were jointly commissioned with facilitating and Metrorail drawing the community’s ideas from the public design sessions. Participants from the community included property owners, neighbors, business people, developers, elected officials, county planning staff and others. Over one hundred Above: The Downtown Kendall Charrette Master Plan and fifty individuals participated. The charrette began on a Friday evening with presentations by ChamberSOUTH and the design team. The following morning, design began as 100 people from the community, armed with markers and pencils, gathered around eight tables, rolled up their sleeves, and drew their ideas on big maps of the Dadeland- Datran area.
